Introduction: Health professionals are constantly dealing with death and difficult decisions that can affect their physical and mental well-being. Burnout Syndrome (BS) is a psychosocial illness that appears as a response to chronic interpersonal stressors related to the work environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has therefore brought new challenges, especially in the health sector, causing burnout among health professionals and culminating in an increase in BS in this group. Objective: To identify and evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for Burnout Syndrome in nursing technicians in the state of Sergipe working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study of 150 nursing technicians and assistants working with COVID-19 patients in Sergipe (2021-2022), carried out via Google Forms, using the Informed Consent Form (ICF). A sociodemographic and professional profile was assessed, and the Lipp Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults (ISSL) was applied. A chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used, with the effect size based on the odds ratio (OR). Approved by the Research Ethics Committee under protocol number 4.578.896. Results: Regarding the risk of burnout, the prevalence was low (44.7%), followed by moderate (36.7%) and severe (18.7%). The variables analyzed that were most associated with Burnout Syndrome in nursing technicians and assistants were : age group (p=0.03), the association between feeling anxious or not when working with COVID-19 patients (p<0.001), with anxiety increasing the chances of having a moderate risk of burnout by 2.46 times (95%CI=1.16; 5.25) and the chances of having a high risk by 4.62 times (95%CI=1.80; 11.87), impaired sleep quality (p=0.06), with a 2.16 times (95%CI=1.01; 4.64) of being at moderate risk of burnout, professionals who had experienced some family conflict were 4 times (95%CI=1.56; 10.23) more likely to be at high risk of burnout compared to those who had not experienced any conflict, professionals who had experienced some conflict with the team were 4.62 times (95%CI=1.80; 11.87) more likely to be at high risk and 3.34 times (95%CI=1.53; 7.30) more likely to be at moderate risk of burnout. Conclusion: All levels of burnout risk were found among nursing technicians and assistants, most of whom were at low risk, followed by moderate and severe risk, with a significant association with age, having had family and team conflicts, loss of sleep and feeling anxious when working during the pandemic.
